1. According to the production process, aluminum plates can be divided into five types:
1. Repeatedly scraping lines on aluminum plates with sandpaper is called brushed aluminum plates. The manufacturing process of
brushed aluminum plate, its main process is divided into three parts: deesterification, sand mill, and water washing;
2. The aluminum plate is placed in the corresponding electrolyte (such as sulfuric acid, etc.) as an anode, and the aluminum plate formed by electrolysis under specific conditions and external current is called an alumina plate;
3. The aluminum plate with a printed pattern on the back and a thickness of 025 or 03 is called PS aluminum plate;
4. The aluminum plate with a mirror effect on the surface of the plate through rolling, grinding and other methods is called mirror aluminum plate;
5. Aluminum products with various patterns formed on the surface after rolling processing are called embossed aluminum plates, which can also be called aluminum embossed aluminum plates;

1. According to the production process, aluminum plates can be divided into five types:

1. Repeatedly scraping lines on aluminum plates with sandpaper is called brushed aluminum plates. The manufacturing process of

brushed aluminum plate, its main process is divided into three parts: deesterification, sand mill, and water washing;

2. The aluminum plate is placed in the corresponding electrolyte (such as sulfuric acid, etc.) as an anode, and the aluminum plate formed by electrolysis under specific conditions and external current is called an alumina plate;

3. The aluminum plate with a printed pattern on the back and a thickness of 025 or 03 is called PS aluminum plate;

4. The aluminum plate with a mirror effect on the surface of the plate through rolling, grinding and other methods is called mirror aluminum plate;

5. Aluminum products with various patterns formed on the surface after rolling processing are called embossed aluminum plates, which can also be called aluminum embossed aluminum plates;


2. According to the different metal elements contained in the aluminum plate, the aluminum plate can be roughly divided into 9 categories, that is, it can be divided into 9 series:

1. 1000 series represents 1050 1060 1070 1000 series aluminum plates are also called pure aluminum plates

2. 2000 series aluminum plates The representative 2A16 (LY16) 2A12 (LY12) 2A06 (LY6) 2000 series aluminum plate is characterized by high hardness.

3. 3000 series aluminum plate represents 3003 3003 3A21. It can also be called rust-proof aluminum plate. The production process of 3000 series aluminum plate in my country is relatively excellent.

4. 4000 series aluminum plate represents 4A01. The 4000 series aluminum plate belongs to the series with high silicon content.

5. 5000 series represents 5052.5005.5083.5A05 series.

6. 6000 series represents 6061. It mainly contains two elements, magnesium and silicon, so it concentrates the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series. 6061 is a cold-treated aluminum forging product.

7. The commonly used 8011 in the 7000 and 8000 series belongs to other series. The 00 series represents 7075 and mainly contains zinc.

8. The 9000 series belongs to the spare series.


3. Divided by thickness: (unit: mm)

Thin sheet (aluminum sheet) 0.15-2.0

Conventional sheet (aluminum sheet) 2.0-6.0

Medium sheet (aluminum plate) 6.0-25.0

Thick plate (aluminum plate) 25-200

Ultra-thick plate 200 or more

Five-rib bar pattern aluminum plate

Diamond aluminum plate
